Iraq is done. Fuck it.
Edited on Wed Jun-07-06 07:15 PM by Tom Yossarian Joad
The people that die

don't really die.

They're just ink on paper.

He wasn't my son.

My daughter,

My father,

My Mother.

Just ink on paper.



I don't know anyone

who lives in that hellhole

Those brown skinned people

who talk funny

and sell me Slurpies.



The war is done,
it's out of site,
there's gay marriage and
abortion

that needs our attention now.

No one's dying.







except people we don't know.









So, fuck 'em.



Let them die.





I'll go after the carrot of the moment.



















end.









Peace.



If you can sleep.




















end.

3. This looks like deep shit, but I am drunk & coming off finals right now
Edited on Wed Jun-07-06 07:31 PM by U4ikLefty
perhaps I will be able to decide after my Hydrology final has left my mind...arrrgh!!!

on edit: damn!!! Just imagine if I was a confused christian/conservative youngster at 18 with a "decision-to-make" & no REAL future??? I was one of those in 1984 and but by the grace of God, did I NOT take that road. I pray for my brothers-in-arms on this day. Even as a 40-year-old man, I can see how hard the future seems to these youngsters. Let's pray that they don't make the wrong choice...after all, Bu$h makes it seem soooo easy for American soldiers to be the "good guy" when the're just being used!!!

Peace UL

2. Ditto
I can see no benefit from continuing at this point in time and there are huge penalties at stake.

We need to get out now...

6. I didn't know Iraqi names were even put ink to paper? But yeah. Reading
up on what is going on inside Iraq is enough to flatten your lungs. Hard to breath.
